Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Arrives October 16th, Edit CCM Rosters and More

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Arrives October 16th, Edit CCM Rosters and More

I am not going to lie... This is probably the best patch list I've ever seen in a game. The amount that EA is fixing/restoring is pretty massive.

This is customer service! I want to thank EA for such a great effort. I also want to thank the community who voices their opinion/displeasure in a respectful and constructive way, because by reading the patch notes, it would seem EA spent a lot of time at OS and was made aware of the issues. It's great all the way around.

The ONLY thing I miss seeing is the simulation stats being addressed, as they are pretty off right now... Hopefully that's something that could possibly be addressed in a tuner, but the amount of plays that the CPU runs in simulated games is the #1 causal factor for this.

Well done, EA... Thank you!

Coach Mode is cool but is there going to be a way to have CPU vs CPU without picking the plays?

Well, do you think there is any other reason, though?

If there is a better reason, I'm all ears.

I don't have any insider info, but I don't see anything else to the contrary.

You are entitled to disagree.

I think it was because of all the customers unhappy, and more important sales of madden 13 have nearly stopped. This patch should spark a little interest and sales.

Just wish the art team would have worked a little harder and fixed chicago's pants, darkened up the grass a little in shade(too bright of green), and fixed the zoom cam angle.

Seams weird all the art department did was fix some sleeves,lol.

lol...thanks for that.

Jokes aside, reason for what? I'm confused is all. Reason for this being patched in? If that's the case, one could just as easily make the argument that this being patched shows that EA is simply being reactive and could have easily already had this in already.

Now, I'm not saying that's the case either. My point is that there is equal evidence (read: none) to support any assumption someone already held. This info doesn't change anything in that regard. IMO, it's good news on it's own...no need to reach.

I'm simply curious to know what there is about this news that led you to your prior conclusion, is all.

Depends on how you view a patch I guess. I disagree though, IMO this patch was basically fixing all the broken parts of the game that obviously should have been fixed before release. These weren't little hidden things, they let a lot of things go. Some patches for games have gone beyond fixing obvious issues and actually add new features,etc. I expected a patch like this, the game was terrible and unfinished.

This games is till missing a lot, and IMO the game has went backwards in many ways from Madden 12.

It was a good patch though. 2 more like this and we might be get somewhere.

Just my opinion.

For everyone that has hated on EA and/or Madden you must admit they have stepped their game up this year. Madden is a quality sports title this season that can't be laughed at, they have been active here on the message boards and seem to actually care about their product and improving on it. That's all we ever asked for! I'm happy and impressed....and ready to try out that coach mode!

It's because that's what the developers told us from the outset. A lot of people didn't want to believe what the developers were saying.

All I'm saying it's hard not to believe what they said after this great patch news, but as I said before, others can choose to believe what they want to believe.

So is every uniform error in Madden 13 going to be fixed?? What about Assisted Tackles will this be fixed?? And how about.the zone defense or pass defense tired of abusers online getting guys wide open because pass defense is broken will these 3 things be fixed as well.thanks

Were there any tweaks made to the God awful looking physics of the game?

Also, Does this patch add the ability to now finally PLAY ANY GAME from your Franchise Schedule in Offline Mode? (like previous Maddens and NCAA games)

Can you watch CPU vs CPU games in your Franchise?

thanks

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Arrives October 16th, Edit CCM Rosters and More

Really glad to read the patch notes.

However, I still have two lingering questions and a major issue.

1) Will the CPU playcalling be more "team specific", ex. Saints throw, Packers throw, Pats throw, Ravens grind you, Bears grind you, etc. Also, late game AI. Has it been fixed quite simply?

So, no word from EA regarding these specific questions? Isn't this a significant issue? I know it is to me. It pretty much takes strategizing out of the equation when trying to defned against specific teams. I'm ready to plunk down money for this game, but if Madden plays like Fifa (where pretty much every team plays the same), that's not a realistic football gaming experience.

What about the horrendous late game AI? Look, I'm happy EA is essentially fixing a beta version of a game that released a few weeks ago. But these two issues seem to have gotten a pass from the majority of people who are thanking EA so very much. These particular problems hold Madden back from being a great game.

We have to wait and see if everything works as advertised or as we assume it will. I wouldn't get too high or too low..remember there were things in the last NCAA 13 patch list that didn't quite translate in the game.

But this is a step in the right direction to get the game playable, especially for those of us with higher standards.

Also gotta take the time to say to all those who complained about us complaining - see what happens when you speak up for yourself?

Wow!

Shocking because they said they wouldn't get coach mode in this year and.. here you go.

Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

Now that im thinking about it, I have a few questions -

1) With the added ability to edit players in off-line CCM, what exactly does this include? Attributes, Positions, Equipment, Jersey Numbers, Personal Info? Is there anything that cant be edited?

2) When using a custom roster in CCM, do the player's overall ratings still increase/decrease or will they stay the same as in Play Now?

Thanks.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Title Update #3 Arrives October 16th, Edit CCM Rosters and More

I obviously can't prove it, but it's my opinion that in every patch, more than what they put in the notes gets fixed. So when we look at the notes for this patch and what they are actually telling us about, I'm really impressed with their effort. Despite being more optimistic than most about them being seriously committed to making this a great game, I still am pleasantly surprised that many things that I thought wouldn't be fixed until next year, were instead addressed in M13.

Yes, we have to see how it's implemented, and yes some of these fixed aren't going to work, but I hope that some of the tired anti EA rhetoric can be put out to pasture now, and the focus can be solely about constructive lobbying for improvements in the core gameplay mechanics/A.I. and the addition of new CCM features and the return of all lost franchise mode elements.

Re: Madden 13 Patch #3 details

Coach mode can now be used in CM, I just fell back in love with the EA Madden team, As a player with a hand disability this is big and allows me to once again enjoy Madden Football, thanks gentlemen.
